The worst part is I live in a tiny apartment and don't have any rooms without words (or things) everywhere - art on walls, cat food shelves, bookshelves, etc. so I had to move to my balcony last minute after they said no to the room I planned to use. And then I forgot to remove my watch, so they messaged me during the test and made me move my laptop camera around a bunch to re-check the space. So during the test, every time someone drove by with loud radio or something, I stressed that they would invalidate my test. 😅😭 Definitely 0 out of 10, do not recommend starting the exam with that kind of last-minute stress. I wish there was a way we could have submitted room photos ahead of time so I could plan better. I probably should have put that in the feedback at the end, but I was just so glad to be done I skipped the surveys. 🙃 My journey: I started using Claude Co-Work and Claude Code in April as a non-coder. I reached out to join this group & take the test last weekend I used claudestudycards.com, claudecertificationguide.com, and the Purcell practice exam throughout the week to prep. You can all do it!

As the legendary Texan, Matthew McConaughey, often says… all right, all right all right! The pressure was on me to pass this time, it is done, and I couldn’t wait to share with you guys. That’s 5 of us. Who is next??

🚨 SPECIAL CCAF TOWN HALL – TUESDAY @ 8:00 PM CST (9:00 AM Taiwan) 🚨 We're changing things up next week... and you won't want to miss it. 🎉 First, let's celebrate! Huge congratulations to @Hsin-chih Lee , who has officially become the first member of our group to pass the CCAF exam! 🏆👏 With the October certification window approaching, this is the perfect time for all of us to learn from someone who's been through it and keep the momentum rolling. Here's what we'll cover: ✅ Hsin-Chih's exam experience, preparation tips, and what she wishes she knew beforehand ✅ A glossary of terminology she encountered that we may want to add to our study materials ✅ Review the community survey results and discuss what they tell us - THIS IS COMING TO YOU BY FRIDAY. PLEASE TAKE 5 MIN TO FILL OUT. ✅ Talk about getting more people ready to test so we have a strong group heading into October and can reach our goal of 10 certifications ⚠️ IMPORTANT!!! THIS SESSION WILL NOT BE RECORDED. Because we'll be discussing exam-related experiences, we need to respect the testing agreement Hsin-Chih signed at testing and protect the integrity of the certification. Hsin-Chih will not be sharing specific exam questions or content, but the discussion will include insights that we simply can't post publicly. No notetakers will be allowed. If you're serious about taking the CCAF exam by the Oct timeframe, this is one to attend live. 📅 Tuesday 🕗 8:00 PM Central (Texas) 🕘 9:00 AM Taiwan (Wednesday morning) https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81568425655?pwd=ZHmhQbFWphtHrONqG2GzSoiOABrqqj.1 We chose this time to give as many members as possible—especially our Asia/Pac group—the opportunity to join. See you Tuesday! Let's celebrate our first pass and help create the next wave of CCAF-certified architects! 🚀

Is anyone game for a separate bi-weekly or monthly call to discuss pricing and proposal generation? Another prospect call for a large build, done in chunks, and no clue how to price. Going to see if anything like this in Women in AI and post there as well.
